Through our exclusive group partnership with Save Our Seas and its president Captain Paul Clark, the idea was born to offer our guests an opportunity to be totally immersed in a true “eco-trip” geared towards learning and protecting our oceans and reefs.The oceans are critical to the health and well-being of the human race.The ocean provides 75% of the world’s oxygen, provides pharmaceuticals, feeds billions, controls weather, gives us an endless playground and fills us with beauty, peace, and serenity. Recent scientific discoveries have revealed that fish supplies are decreasing, toxin levels increasing and coral reefs are dying.

Join our S.O.S. eco-tour and help the scientific community discover the extent of damage occurring in our ocean reefs. Through a program called Ocean Pulse, each participant will be involved in an in-depth study of coral reef ecology and the marine environment. Help us conduct field studies and surveys. Become knowledgeable in identifying reef species, gather data by conducting a reef study and then compare and log findings to be kept on file. Work with the marine scientists to facilitate actual fish counts in various locations off shore. This information will be cataloged and used to help understand the health of the reef on the North Shore. Become reef check certified during this process which can be used worldwide. Participants will also have the opportunity to experience diving. Whether it is your first try or you are a veteran diver, our experienced dive masters will share with you their underwater playground and facilitate a safe and exciting adventure. Take this unique opportunity to help the scientific community gather the data to compile a complete picture of the health of our oceans. You can make a difference.

All it takes is one person at a time. The time to start is now, the place to start is here. To ensure a healthy life we must have balance. Because most of your scientific exploration will take place in either the morning or afternoon, it allows us to take time to play in the ocean and enjoy all it has to offer. Your day adventures will include surfing in sand bottom Hanalei Bay with waves geared for the novice surfer, hiking along trails that offer breathtaking views, teaming up with your fellow participants to experience the ancient sport of outrigger paddling and our
all-time favorite of stand-up paddling. This is a great body workout and opportunity to view the oceans and rivers from a very unique perspective. There are just some of the activities we have planned for your enjoyment. Take time to unwind, relax, shop in town or just kick back with a great book. We feel very privileged to help you discover our passion and love for our island.

Instructions for all activities are carefully explained with emphasis on safety and understanding.
